Death note is a story about light, a geneus student who finds the death note on the ground and decides to test it out; on finding out that it does indeed work he begins his iradication of all criminals and falls face first into the downward spiral of insanity.

STORY

The story is extremely good and gripping, as all dedtective novels should be. I enjoyed it so much that I skipped many hours of sleep to finish it in two days.
But the second part after L death is weaker but Light’s death scene is very good ( I cried )

ART

Personally I liked the art as it had a nice feel but it was not amazing but there were no errors that I remember and it was verry clean.

CHARACTERS

For the first half the characters were verry good and had clear motivations and this is constant throughout the manga but something happens after L’s death the new detective characters, Mello and Near are not as likeable and you start to root for light, which is not nessiseraly bad as it makes his death all the more impactful but still they could be better as there is not much development in any character.

ENJOYMENT

The quirkyness of the characters and the gripping story make for a verry enjoyable manga.

CONCLUSION

I recommend the manga over the anime as the art style is much cleaner I definitely recommend this as it is a classic stlill relive the today and is quite deep and makes you think about stuff my three brain cells would not give a shit about like: is it right to kill a criminal, how far should one go to cach one and is Mello a boy or a girl
